National House-Cspital Items.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. t0-Morrison
seems within the past few days to realize
shat it will be difficult, if not impossible, to
maintain even the appearance of leader the
house on revenhe matters. He said to a
correspondent Friday night:
] know nothing OF the plans of the Rsndau
read In the newspapers. They want to
abolish the tax upon tobacco, upon spirits
used In manufactures and the arts, and vRri-
ous other things For instance, the Repub-
licans demands q reduction of the duty upon
sugar, which I understand Mr.. Randall is
not willing to concede. IL is the old story.
They want to reduce the revenues so that
they can say there is no necessity for tariff
reform. Well, they seem to have the votes,
and there is nothing to prevent them from
bringing the measures before the house and
passing them. l see no way in which can
prevent them They say there are seventy
Democrats in favor of repeating the tax on
tobacco, but they lthe Randall msu) do not
need more than half as many if the expected
Republican votes. are Forthcoming. The
large manufacturers to a great extent seem
to have given their opposition to the repeal
OF the tax, and that strengthens the vote In
its favor, and as said before, if they haye
the votes, what can do.
Morrison further said that in the popular
mind tari6 reform and reduction of the rev.
enue were identical and without the neces-
sity for q reduction, Of the revenue there
could be no thought Of tariff reform. "Peo-
pie seem," he said, ITO be terribly anxious
all at once about the surplus. Only year
ago possible deficit was estimated for, and
we were warned against making any but the
most necessary appropriations, Now a sur
plus of $12 ,000, 900 is calculated on, and
they are anxious to reduce this surplus, as
they were before to provide the money to
cover the deficit" He did not believe in
any such surplus The troubls was that the
gentlemen in the treasury department
learned too fast and forgot too fast Morri-
son was ready to vote for greater reduc-
tion OF the duty on sugar than that con-
tained in his bill if any other tariff reform
was connected with it, such as a reduction Of
the dnty ON wool, but he saw no chance for
that.

Bon Butler Awaiting the Coming of the
Political Millennium.
WASHINGTON CITY, Jan. 10.-Gen. Butler
is in town, wearing q sealskin coat and
coonskin cap, and looking as mischieyious as
ever. He has just passed his 10th year, but
appears good for another half century. He
says he is out Of politics except as an OBJ
server, and like old Simeon, is sitting at the
gates Of the temple waiting for the coming
Of the. Lord When asked to explain his
apochryphal illusions, he refers the inquirer
to the Holy Scriptures, which he says are
good reading for men in and out of politics,
and to which he is now devoting
great deal of attention. He finds in the
prophecies q, reference to the present time,
and he believes the political millennium Is
near at hand, for the mugwumps are having
+ their way. Although no man has been
abused more bitterly, and by men who are
in congress to-day, the general seems to bear
no resentment and greets all with the same
cordiality. He wanders about on the Demo
cratic side and then on the Republican side
Of the house, smokes in the cloak-rooms, and
gets shaved in the con- 'essional barber-shop
just as if he were still l. member, but under
the senate rules he can not get on the floor Of
that chamber. So he haunts the committee
